The Brook Street Band
The Brook Street Band
A fictional meeting between Bach and Handel, the two greatest musicians of the baroque era, contrasting the huge variety within their music. The best elements of Bach’s strict Lutheran Germany and Handel’s decadent London combine to enable this creativity to flourish, spirituality and joie de vivre combining, to create an unforgettable event. This is music to feed the soul and calm the mind in these testing times.

Voces8
Voces8
Internationally acclaimed vocal ensemble VOCES8 presents Choral Dances, a foot-tapping celebration of choral music inspired by dance. In a programme featuring music from chapels and courts, to cinemas and clubs, Renaissance repertoire sits alongside more contemporary Jazz arrangements to get you singing in the aisles, and give VOCES8 the chance to showcase its inimitable stage moves.
The programme includes a short presentation by students from the education project Roots. Roots is delivered through a partnership between Cambridge Early Music, the VOCES8 Foundation, the Faculty of Music at the University of Cambridge, Cambridgeshire Music, Brook Street Band and Anglia Ruskin University. This year Roots is supported by funding from Arts Council England and the Chapman Charitable Trust.
This concert also supports Early Music Day, which is organised by the European Early Music Network REMA and held annually on the anniversary of Bach's birthday, 21 March.
